Al Jolson

It's aw McCullochs fault! What was the question?

84% in his favour so far. Good show. Oops. There I go being positive again. Must try and curtail that.

Porn channels?

"ah'm gaun fur a chinky".

Wooft. Difficult question. I honestly couldn't answer that right now because there are two many variables involved. For instance, if we lost it by 20 points it would be a definite 'yes'. If we lost it by 1 point, it could, possibly, be a 'no'.

Sound. You win. Now back to the thread.

If you're going to be offensive then expect people to respond. Some might do it offensively. Personally, I prefer the intelligent debate approach. Now stop furiously pounding your keyboard and join in the debate.

All good points as well. There are some that still wouldn't give Walter the recognition he merits. There's always an "aye, but......." when they're talking about his achievements. Same for McLeish to a lesser extent n

Post of the thread. Tried to rep you but apparently I've reached my quota of being positive for today. Strange. We should maybe have a negative quota.

Calm yourself down and read the whole post. I afford Ally the same level of support I afforded to all the previous managers. Why did you chose to focus in on that part instead of all, or the previous, parts? And a rant? Seriously? And in terms of requiring back up, I'm intelligent enough to put across my own viewpoint and, consequently, defend it. You'll look long and hard to find any post where I've sought "back up". For goodness sake, it's not a fight at the school gates.

Now, now. No need to be offensive. And your question is rhetorical so don't get hysterical.

That's just about Ally. Again.

He's been a manager for a year and a half. Ally's been a manager for a month and a half. But, hey, keep up the good work by defending other teams managers before your own.

This threads about the attitude towards recent managers not just Ally.

But he has to be given time, no?

Still a rookie manager though. The game is full of guys who are fantastic coaches/assistant manager but couldn't make the grade as managers.

I don't have an opinion on him as a man but I enjoy his enthusiastic style of commentary. Give me that over the guy who does the live games for the BBC any day of the week.

Souness and Smith were both rookie managers. Didn't seem to do too badly.

I've been following Rangers for more years than I care to remember and, since Walter Smiths first spell as manager, we always seem to have a section of our support (?) who have been pretty intolerant of the man in charge. Walter, when announcing his departure at the end of his first stint, basically said that part of the reason he felt it was time to go was that there were people who seemed to have a problem with him being manager. Even in his second stint, he wasn't short of his critics. Wee Dick, accepted readily during the good times but when it started to go awry..............well that you can accept because it would happen to any manager at any club. Big Eck, from his appointment to his departure, was never fully accepted by some, even given his achievements within the restrictions surrounding him at that time. PLG? Well, you could provide ten threads to debate his tenure and probably still not come to agreement. Which brings us nicely to Ally. You would've thought that out of anyone, the man who would've been given the most leeway would be this guy but it doesn't appear to be the case in some quarters. What does surprise me is the level of criticism that's levelled at the guy this early in his managerial career. It's almost as if some want him to fail so that they can say "told you!".

Swap Whittaker wi Broadfoot and that'll do nicely. Sorry to be positive SWSL but my tip is 3-0 to the worlds most successful football club.

I don't find it offensive. And I think a lot of people don't find it offensive.

You don't like "f****n in the bushes" by Oasis?!?!?

You're holding Pressley up as a novice manager, when he quite clearly isn't, so that's a blatant lie, but giving it to Ally, who quite clearly is a novice manager, frequently with both barrels? Why's that?

Yet another example of you being a liar. And, as you're aware, I'm not the only one on here who's called you that. Co-incidentally, if that really is your post count, over a twelve month period, you really need to get out more.

Unfortunately, football is like that. Every team, the world over, has results that "no one sees coming". It'd be a fucking boring pastime if we won every game we played.
